- Topping for pizza

For pizza, simply arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese before baking. In pasta dishes, stir them into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to allow them to warm through and release their oils. For sandwiches, they can be placed directly on bread with other fillings. They can also be enjoyed as a quick and savory snack straight from the package, offering a satisfying bite.
